Voters in Many States Are Being Met with New Voting Rules

“President Donald Trump has pushed Congress to pass a proof-of-citizenship law, signed an executive order seeking a national voter ID requirement and tried to limit mail voting through U.S. Postal Service changes,” the Associated Press reports.

“None of those moves succeeded in time to affect this year’s midterm elections. It’s a different matter in the states.”

“More than three dozen voting laws passed in Republican-controlled states are taking effect for the first time this year, many of them containing elements of Trump’s stalled proposals. They include changes to what IDs are acceptable to register for the first time and requirements to show proof of citizenship, an issue the Republican president has tried but failed to get through Congress.”
